The Kansas City Chiefs will not enter negotiations to restructure Patrick Mahomes ’ contract.
Mahomes was handed the largest contract in sports history in 2020 when the Chiefs awarded him a 10-year deal worth $477m, which could potentially rise to $503m. At things stand, though, he is seventh on the list of highest paid NFL quarterbacks.
Recent months have seen other QBs such as Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens and Aaron Rodgers, with his move to the New York Jets, surpass Mahomes’ annual earnings. As a result, it led to speculation that the Chiefs could be forced to enter negotiations over a restructure of Mahomes’ deal.
